huge $$$ 838 sale !!!

[Jwrok707]

Hey i like my 838, but for the performance I get out of it , its not even close to consider paying that amount!
WOW.............. Hmmmmmm. . I dont get it!

THAT IS CRAZY! It's not like these are all that rare. That is a nice example and all but DANG!

Got mine for $4.60

I paid 30-something bucks for the bag my 838 came in.

The epay seller lives in my area he was trying to sell some of his boxes on Craigslist first I made him a few offers on a lot off his boxes but he turn me down on all of them I could see why

Perhaps because their true condition wouldn't hold up to close inspection....

I'd better get mine fixed up, pronto tonto!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope the buyer is happy with it, because he took a huge $$ risk trusting the seller's description.

Because from what I can see, the tuner glass has scratches and the top aluminum edge has dings. How can that be mint, new condition?

In my opinion, it's a good used example but not mint and certainly nowhere near new.

Im glad im not the only one who noticed all those scratches.

Big money for small box.
and I dont just mean the size of the box either.

What surprised me about this auction is that this JVC sold for more than his Pioner 909 - which is far more rare

Actually even though the 838 is highly thought of, I still think that it is underestimated. Considering that it predates some of the best by a number of years, even more so. Off the top of my head I think it is circa 1978. It sounds amazing to me and fun to find the best sound setting for different songs. I paid alot for my 838 and 838 series 2 and I would do it again. But this price is way above that and too much for this sketchy condition. Dead true mint, with manuals and a box anything could happen....

Chris, I have been going through your thread because my 838 is on the way and I will be opening it up for a good cleaning.... Hopefully everything will be working. Yours is nice because it is the Victor .

Awesome Man, It's great radio....Hopefully your's will be in good condition. But if you need to open her up, that thread will show you where the screws are and make it real easy!

Good luck and POST A THREAD when you get it!
